Look at eve-offline.com
Europe prime time is highest player count and has been forever.
More than an average of 5k drop when europeaons go to sleep and americans get home from school/work.
With numbers in the mid 20s, thats a 20-25% PLAYER DROP from Eu timezone to American timezone.

Aint there more Americans anyways? Thought we had like soooo many gamers and people that dont have to work and just play games.


Is it cuz ccp is a european company?

Why?

The New World needs to help out thw eve player count.

A better question: Why do they let you continue to shitpost?

Shut up CAM.

Your shitpoasting with characters other than CAM just sucks.

But in relation to your question. No. Europe has more than double the population of the USA, so take a positive away from it. Head-for-head, the USA has a higher number of Eve players.

I think there is a limit on how many Americans can play EVE.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

The U.S. has the most millennials.

Millennials don't like games of skill, or games where they don't win for participating, or games that aren't free.

I started playing one of those when it came out (dungeon hunter 5) they are really good at game design ideas, but they designed a player combat AI, only instead making it fair they just cheap it out with the AI being able to call a "miss" when they are hit a whole bunch of times, or as soon as you cast a skill they have already made you go "ooof" (knockback) and canceled the skill with any strike they have.. 3 times in a row...

Then there are the dodges as soon as they are to be hit, literally rolling into and not getting hit by everything. Then not being limited to 3 dodges like the player, and the player can be killed mid dodge, the dodge only gives the AI invincibility.

List goes on, but yeah even the reward for participating games aren't fair. The only way to beat the cheap cheap AI is have higher stats than it. I also notice the enemy AI gets a WHOLE TON more agressive action wise and cheat wise sometimes. I always thought this had to do with your own armor stats.




I disliked games that weren't free till I had a job. I also would like to mention WoW is not free.

As for the skill judgment. I always find something in a game, if it's world of tanks people used to use hitskins a whole bunch, but the premium ammo for free currency change (WITHOUT REBALANCE) was the worst I have dealt with from that game.

Shooters with snipers are too prone to hackers (especially the hitscan guns, which are programmed to hit as soon as you click).

Minecraft is a game I can't complain about except on faction servers, thats a people issue though and really not an issue on the good servers. When you find a good one you will know.

Fallout 3 actually is freakin great. My only complaint ever about that game is it's always been prone to crashing if you even fart wrong.



Besides games nowadays are prone to being too easy, so when that kid who mows down hundreds of enemies goes to online and dies even less than 50% to his kills. Well rage ensues.


My issues with EVE are a plenty, it used to be "Caldari is OP with missles and ancillary shield boosters". Nowadays it's alts, and Russians.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Is Iceland in Europe?

I suppose it is one of those technical questions like... is Summerisle part of Great Britain or the United Kingdom - both or neither....
